What a Monday! :)

The weekly Monday recap:

Monday morning we had a house full!

Five kids outside the Underground board room door all having fun and playing while their Mommies learned and shared and connected with other fantastic women.  Big thanks to Lauren K. for babysitting!

Monday morning's Smart Thing #6: Accept Yourself! What a topic... we talked all about our self-images, what and who has shaped that. Then we compared it to what God says about us to be true. The truth: We are His masterpieces, He created us with the dignity of a free will, and God paid dearly for the mere possibility for a relationship with us.

Monday Evening:

Man, the video was AWESOME!!!!  I say that every week because they are, but this time I really mean it. If you've ever been afraid of something, this session's for you.  "You can be brave even though you've had an entire history of chickendom." --Beth Moore.

Session #4: Fear not-- Take courage!!

 "You may be one brave decision away from the most important decision in your entire path." 

 She had us do an exercise in facing fear.  IF____, then _____ .  You know how we do that... what if_____??? 

IF stands for I Fear_____, then ______. Fill in the blank with God will take care of me.

So, IF____, then GOD.  We have to take courage... it's not something we do ourselves, but it's something that God gives us.

If you're not in the study or if you missed it, I highly recommend you download it from www.lifeway.com/women.   Esther's Session 4, If you remain silent. The viewer guide is also available online if you want to take notes.

Just a reminder that the Esther study will not meet next week, March 2.  We'll be back on the 9th....and we'll have our study on April 6 at Oliver Woods, not at Wendy's, as we'd originally planned. We do have the room rented that night!
